| Glass Heart Paperweights w/photo? I would really appreciate some feedback on a new product idea I have. Someone suggested that my charms are great, but they would be more interested in something that you could place on a desk since they don't wear jewelry. Here's the deal. Coasters are too expensive by far. I did find some reasonably priced hearts that would be nice as small paperweights. They are approximately 2 inches and the cost would run just a few dollars more than my charms are now. Would that be too small? There are also some others that are about three times that cost and are about 4 inches, but I'm afraid they will be too expensive. I estimate that these would end up costing about twice what my current charms do. I am very seriously thinking about ordering some to try, but don't want to waste the time or money if there's not much interest. Image #1 is the 2 inch size Image #2 is the 4 inch size (little puffier and image might be more distorted) What do you think? Thanks in advance.

| I love the idea, but you are right, cost is always an issue. You don't want to extend yourself and you need to make a profit. What do you guesstimate a price at for each?

| Can I answer that question here? I'm not selling these yet, so I am guestimating, so I guess that's okay. I THINK the smaller one will be around $14-16 and the larger one will be about $23 -$25. I say that because the price fluctuates. Thanks for your thoughts on it.

| If the smaller one if the first picture then that one. The other looked bubbled (domed) and like you stated might distort. I like the look of the second one but I think the first one would be more suited for what you want to do.

| Judy...I love the puffy larger heart. I don't think that $25 is too much...it's a custom piece. We are having an auction later this year and a certificate for one of those would be a perfect item!! You need to make up "gift certificates". LOL

| I just had a thought. The bigger one might actually magnify the photo. Just a thought. I think you are right. Order a couple of each and experiment.

| Thank you! How sweet! I have a few more ideas in the works, but you'll just have to wait. Right now I'm gearing up for the gift exchange. I'm ready to go.
